Currently, the Sun had just risen, shedding down faint gold light that reflected off this magnificent seven-story building.
It was the famous auction house.
In the entire world, it was considered a first class auction house. It had a lot of resources. Therefore, the front door of the Auction of a Thousand Treasures was always crowded with people.
Today, in particular, it was extremely crowded and extremely lively.
Because the auction that would cause the hearts of the world to be moved by just a list of some of the treasures would be held today.
Though there were many people gathered at the door, not everyone had the right to enter. Most of them had the thought of fishing in troubled waters.
Those who were able to enter all had an invitation card, so it was perfectly justifiable. Without an exception, these people were all dragons and phoenixes among men. None of them were simple characters.
Therefore, they all had invitations.
Ling Xian also had an invitation. But it wasn't to him, it was to the unlucky man whose name he didn't even know.
Luckily, the invitation didn't have an exclusive stamp. It was probably because the auction thought that everyone who received the invitation was an important figure and there was no chance of them being killed.
All in all, after Ling Xian took out his invitation, he was respectfully invited to a VIP room on the fifth floor.
Above him, there were two more floors. They were probably prepared for people with higher statuses.
"They sure are rich. Even the chairs and tables are made of Golden Silk Zhennan wood that is worth thousands of spiritual stones."
Staring at the luxurious VIP room, Ling Xian faintly smiled and sat down with Feng Jiu Ge.
Then, he dismissed the servant who was wearing a sexy outfit and poured himself and Feng Jiu Ge a cup of tea.
At once, the aroma filled the air and refreshed everyone's heart.
Ling Xian sipped it and picked up the list on the table. He began to seriously read through it.
The list on the invitation card was only half of the auction. What was before him was the complete list.
After he finished reading, the anticipation in his eyes intensified. He couldn't help but exclaim, "The auction sure lives up to its name."
"It looks like master is going to return with a lot of things today."
Feng Jiu Ge smiled brightly. Though she was sitting next to Ling Xian, she was looking down like a servant.
"Nobody here today is simple. It's hard to say."
Ling Xian brandished his hand. Though he was wealthy, everyone here was of high status. Furthermore, his goal was very clear. It was the Lock of Eternity.
Of course, if he encountered a treasure that tempted him, he would naturally take it for himself.
"Wait patiently."
Ling Xian softly grinned. He closed his eyes and waited patiently.
Time passed bit by bit.
After about half an hour, the auction finally began.
As the auctioneer stepped onto the stage, the first treasure appeared in front of everyone, instantly igniting the passion of everyone present.
It was a ninth-ranked Dan called the Longevity Dan. It could increase one's lifespan by a hundred years. To any cultivator, it was an extraordinary treasure.
Therefore, the atmosphere at the scene was extremely heated. Within seconds, the price had risen to 10,000,000 spiritual stones.
However, Ling Xian didn't even bat an eyelid. His eyes were still closed.
He was now of the original level and had a lifespan of 500 years. He didn't have to worry about his lifespan running out. Therefore, he wasn't at all interested.
However, not everyone was as talented as him. To those who relied on time to cultivate, lifespan was the most important thing.
Therefore, everyone continued to bid against it. In the end, it landed in the hands of a middle-aged man with a price of 15,000,000.
Next, the second item caused everyone to fight over it. The third, the fourth, every single one of them did the same and ignited everyone's passion.
What could they do? All of these treasures were rare. Despite everyone's status, they couldn't help but be tempted by them.
However, Ling Xian's eyes never opened.
Though these treasures were good, they weren't enough to move his heart. Therefore, he continued to close his eyes to rest and his expression was calm and collected.
It wasn't until the 34th treasure, the Plate of Escape, appeared that he finally opened his eyes. He was somewhat interested.
This item had no defensive capabilities and no offensive capabilities. However, it was a very rare treasure.
Just like its name suggests, its purpose was to point out a way out. When entering a place full of traps, or when exploring ancient tombs, this item can often be used to point out a way out.
To those who dug graves, this was a treasure that they could only dream of obtaining.
Therefore, Ling Xian was somewhat interested.
He wasn't the only one. Everyone here was tempted as well. Many people's eyes turned heated. Everyone has the opportunity to explore ancient ruins. Perhaps at a critical moment, this item can save their life.
"I believe everyone knows the name of the Plate of Escape, so I won't explain too much."
The auctioneer announced, "The only thing I need to clarify is that this item cannot be bought with spiritual stones. It can only be traded with other items."
At those words, someone made a bid. The moment it was spoken, the entire place silenced.
"One Blue Sea Stone!"
Hearing this, the entire place silenced. Blue Sea Stone was a heavenly material and its value was shocking.
Therefore, nobody thought that someone would raise the price to such a high level right at the beginning.
However, after moments of silence, someone else made another bid. Then, an intense bidding war ensued.
"Two Dragon's Eyes!"
"Three Blue Sea Stones!"
"Five Jade of Crystal Ice!"
Everyone continued to bid. The atmosphere was heated.
This was all because the Plate of Escape was a rare treasure. Though in terms of value, it may not be as valuable as other heavenly materials, it was rare.
If they miss it today, they may never get the chance again.
Therefore, everyone continued to raise the price. Within a short period of time, the price was raised to seven Jade of Crystal Ice.
To know that Jade of Crystal Ice was a top quality material. Adding a small piece can increase a treasure's level by one level. Its value was around 10 million spiritual stones.
In other words, this Plate of Escape had reached a sky-high price of 70 million!
At this point, the voices of people calling out prices finally lessened. The price was increasing little by little and no longer skyrocketed.
Finally, when a man in a luxurious robe shouted out 10 Jade of Crystal Ice, the entire place silenced.
For one, this price had exceeded most people's wealth. For two, it had exceeded the value of the Plate of Escape.
However, this item was hard to find and very rare. It cannot be judged by its value.
However, 10 Jade of Crystal Ice was already a sky-high price. Therefore, nobody made another bid.
"Haha, no one else is bidding?"
The man in the luxurious robe laughed out loud, "If that's the case, then this Plate of Escape is mine."
Then, he couldn't help but to raise his eyebrows and appear very proud.
After all, he was suppressing everyone else. Of course, this was merely in terms of wealth.
Just as this person was showing off his arrogance and the entire place was silenced, Ling Xian, who was in the VIP room on the fifth floor, finally spoke.
The moment he spoke, the man in the luxurious robe froze and everyone else froze.
"I bid … 11 Jade of Crystal Ice."
